Once proud agency? Reagan was shot. Ford was shot at. JFK? Hardly a flawless record if the goal here is to castigate them.WaffleTwineFaceoff wrote: ↑Sun Jul 14, 2024 2:21 pmBuck stops at Mayorkas and SS Director.

The video analysis by knowledgeable personal protection professionals of the various SS agents, especially when they had Trump down by the armored vehicle for extraction, would be comedy gold if it wasn't so serious and frankly, downright scary. Numerous agents seemed to be employing some sort of "agent cosplay" techniques which the experts are picking apart in wonderment.
One particular agent, her head ping ponging left and right at 500 rpm, suddenly decides to draw her weapon in the middle of the pack, nearly fumbles that draw, miraculously doesn't negligently discharge the firearm, and then takes three fumbling tries to reholster it, including one into her badge. All of this while never wavering from the ping ponging head. Does the Secret Service have a Z-team?
Mind bogglingly inept game day performance by a once proud agency.
Maybe this is just a REALLY hard job. Isn't that possible? Maybe wait for the report first?
This ain't the POTUS, folks......we'd do well to remember that. And they don't have bottomless resources.
